machines to provide tracking information.

Intelligent Mail Barcode
The Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMB) is a specific type of barcode
that contains various types of information for bulk mail. It contains
the delivery address information, but its main feature
is that it also contains a lot of extra information about your mailing.
In the IMB is information about the sort category, the services being
requested, an identifier for the mailer, a serial number that uniquely
identifies each mail piece and the delivery address represented
by a string of digits.
The Post Office uses these barcodes to automate the sorting of the
mail. The sorting machines that read the barcode are also able
to feed information back to the mailer about the mail piece.
The USPS publishes delivery service standards that include the number
of days they expect they will take to deliver each class of mail between
each and every ZIP code throughout the United States.
While the Post Office doesn't always uphold their own service
standards, they will help give you a good idea of when your pieces
will be delivered. Then, by tracking your mail you can get a clear
and accurate idea of when your mail will hit in the future.
